I know this was intended as parody but it's actually quite good.

yeaa man - I like the killer mike track that leaked over the one from el-p's album, dudes voice sounds like it was made for el-ps nasty beats like that, but i have faith they'll both be great. The o.c / apollo brown collab record coming soon too & new house of bees soon i think? hopefully gona be a good year for music

also fun game, play that on youtube and turn on the closed captioning beta - where it tries to transcribe the vocals, its so bad at doing it but picks up on the sound of some of the words that it ends up reading like an aesop rock track

This brings up something I'm curious about. Does anyone know if EL-P and Aesop had a falling out? I don't have any real evidence to make me think that they did, but I'm kind of shocked that two people who collaborated so much make zero mention of each other on twitter. Considering that EL-P talks with Sage and Dolan on twitter and to my knowledge has never collaborated with either of them, the radio silence seems odd. Anyway, I'm not trying to start false rumors or anything, but I'm curious if anyone knows anything that I don't.

^^^^^^^^

That would be a damn shame, seeing as how Def Jux owes as much to its success to Aesop Rock's albums as it does El-P's. I don't want to speculate without the facts though.
